Elena's Villa is one of a kind. Nestled in the hills just outside Siena is the perfect place to be in Tuscany; close enough to the excitement of a city yet far enough to soak up the tranquility of Tuscany. We didn't have a car but Elena connected us with a local cab driver who we became quick friends with and he took us to Gaoile, Radda, Siena and beyond. There are plenty of places to walk to from the villa too; I Sodi, Castello di Brolio and more.We had six family members and shared the separate villa for four adults and had a room in the main house with two more. We ate out but also took advantage of Elena's cooking prowess to learn some Tuscan secrets during her evening cooking class. Our meatball game is now on point because of her!Overall the house, the food, the amenities are top-notch. We were never at a loss for anything except more time to enjoy it!I'd happily go back year after year and bring the rest of my family and friends with me!

What an incredible place to stay in the heart of Chianti! We stayed at Borgo Argenina during our honeymoon. The hamlet is situated in the middle of a vineyard with stunning views in all directions. Elena is amazing, be sure to do the pasta making class! We spent time in Venice, Rome, and Positano, eating at great restaurants along the way, however our favorite meal was the pasta class at Borgo Argenina! If you want to immerse yourself in true Tuscan culture, this is an amazing place to stay and experience it. Thanks again Elena! Clare and Matt

My wife and I stayed at Borgo Argenina Oct 20-26, 2018 with our two children (4 and 1) and our parents. Our parents stayed in the main house and we had one of the villas with our kids. We chose the location based largely on Trip Advisor reviews. The reviews were all great and we'd agree with what many others have written, Borgo Argenina is perfect. The property is incredible, the service is amazing, the views are unforgettable, and with Ms. Elena, you quickly feel like you're staying with an old friend and leave feeling like you have a new family member. The location is within 5-10 minutes of wineries and castles and only about 20-30 minutes from Siena. We loved Siena and ended up spending the better part of two of our days there. We also took the train from Sienna to Florence for a day. If you're considering a trip to this area of Italy, do yourself a favor and stay here.

My wife and I visited Borgo Argenina just after the grape harvest. I don't see how we could have asked for a better B&B location, friendly and helpful service, or the weather... When we weren't sight-seeing the property and accommodations made us feel as if we were "at home". Our hostess and staff were exceptional and we look forward to our next visit. Make sure you visit Giorgio and his owl at Locanda Del Tartufalo.

When you close your eyes and imagine what the quintessential Tuscan experience would be , you will experience this at Borgo Argentina! From the picturesque drive through the vineyards up to the ancient, but completely restored villa .Every room is more beautiful than the last. The kitchen is exquisitely rustic. The place is magical. Elena , your host is fantastic. Take a cooking class with Elena for a wonderful experience and delicious dinner. We did not want to leave. We cannot wait to go back and spend more time. Two days was not enough.

Waited over a year and finally made it to Borgo Argenina in September with our 8 friends. What a wondeful time at this beautiful and scenic B&B. Our host Elena and staff, as well as the facilities, were exceptional. Weather relaxing while enjoying beautiful views or cooking up a fantastic dinner (at one of Elena's cooking classes), you will not want to leave. Breakfast was very enjoyable, our room was tastefully decorated with antiques and staff made sure everything was tidy. I miss picking those juicy figs off the tree. We hope to visit again, if you are looking for a great B&B in Chianti, wine country, with amazing views and hospitality don't miss staying at Borgo Argenina. You won't be disappointed.e
